Chapter 670: The Secret of the Blood Lake (2)
Feeling the gaze of the people around him, the deacon insisted on holding Mingyue and pretending to be fearless.
But under the gathering of many eyes, the deacon's hands holding Ming Yue trembled unconsciously.
The incessant shaking was quickly noticed by Mingyue. Her eyes lit up, as if she were planning something as the deacon pondered some kind of decision.
Planning to escape through the Blood Lake with Ming Mei is something Ming Yue has decided to do since the last time the Hundred Pets Meeting.
Mingyue and Mingmei have lived in Qin Ming Yuan for some years, and they are relatively familiar with the Hundred Pet Club. Under Mingyue's several observations, it was categorically deduced that the Blood Lake was the most feasible way to leave Qinming Garden and even Qinshan.
But Ming Yue never expected that the danger hidden in the blood lake was already beyond the scope of what she and Ming Mei could resist. The two of them only entered the Blood Lake for a moment, and they were so smoked by the blood in the Blood Lake that it was difficult to fly in the air.
And falling into the lake of blood is destined to face more blood disasters.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were very close to the shore, let the people on the shore find out, and inform the deacon on their behalf, the two of them would have died in the blood lake by now.
In the Qin Ming Garden, each deacon in the Hundred Pet Society has a blood flute, which is used to manipulate the creatures of the blood lake closer to the shore.
When Qi Heng distributed such a blood flute to the deacons, he only said that in order to maintain the safety of the blood lake along the shore during the Hundred Pet Society, no one thought that Mingyue would set his eyes on the blood lake because of this sentence.
Over the years, Ming Yue has been planning to get close to the deacon at this hundred pet meeting, steal the blood flute from one of the deacons, and leave Qin Mingyuan with Ming Mei.
It was only as soon as he entered the Blood Lake that Ming Yue realized that the blood flute he had stolen could not be blown in the lake at all.
Earlier, if it weren't for the kindness of the deacon who is now detaining her, he blew the blood flute to manipulate the blood whale, and ordered the blood whale to take Mingyue and Mingmei back to the shore. At this moment, how could Mingyue and Mingmei have the life to stand here?
However, the deacon's momentary kindness also aroused the dissatisfaction of the other deacons who worked with him.
At present, it is precisely because of that dissatisfaction that the deacons should set their eyes on the deacon during Qi Heng's questioning, forcing him to be the first bird, and answering Qi Heng's question.
In the eyes of the other deacons, since this deacon caused the trouble, it was natural for this deacon to bear the blame. What's more, this deacon is usually a bully, and now the other deacons are trying to push him out to stop the disaster.
With extreme fear, the deacon finally spoke after hesitating for a moment: "Princess, these two girls took advantage of the Hundred Pets Market and the Blood Lake to be unguarded, and they broke into the lake by themselves, and were almost eaten by the blood whales at the bottom of the lake......
"Since you went, what are you going to bring back?" Qi Heng asked coldly without waiting for the deacon to finish.
After seeing these two women stained with the blood of the blood lake, Qi Heng was not interested in understanding the cause and effect of all things. He just wanted to know the outcome, and put an end to the matter that displeased him.
Questioned by Qi Heng, the deacon was even more panicked in his heart, and he became clueless when he spoke: "Son's forgiveness...... I saw that these two girls were the ones that the son liked, so I brought them back. ”
The deacon replied with trepidation, but ignored the constant glances of the other deacons around him.
It is true that although all the women in the 33rd courtyard of Qin Ming Yuan were selected by Qi Heng from Qin Mountain.
But in the years of living in Qin Mingyuan, Qi Heng never got close to these women, and even didn't even touch these women after making them concubines, which is not a secret in Qin Mingyuan.
The deacon was frightened, but said that these women were the girls that Qi Heng liked, and such a serious slip of the tongue was likely to bring death to the deacon.
At this thought, the deacons were shocked, and the other deacons who were closer to the deacon secretly tugged at each other's clothes as they spoke, as if to remind him of the error in his words.
Between life and death, these deacons pushed the deacon to the forefront in order to protect themselves. But they only wanted to save their own lives, and they did not want to watch other deacons in their colleagues die because of their own selfish desires.
But once the words are spoken, they are difficult to take back.
Listening to the deacon's answer, Qi Heng's already angry heart rose to the meaning of abuse.
With a wave of his sleeve, he suddenly had a demonic wind and galloped through the curtain towards the deacon.
Seeing that gust of sword, the deacon, who was already extremely frightened, was completely stunned. He stood still, unable to understand what he had done to cause such a bloody disaster!
Feeling the sword wind that could take his life at any moment, the deacon closed his eyes in despair as he was almost speechless with fright.
In front of Qi Heng, the people of the Evil Yi clan who lived in the Qin Ming Garden outside the Thirty-Three Courtyards had long been accustomed to being submissive, and they had never thought of any action to resist Qi Heng. Even if Qi Heng wanted to take their lives, they would not have the slightest argument.
Qi Heng is in charge of Qin Ming Yuan and has absolute power over everyone or everything in Qin Ming Yuan.
Whether it is the deacon who is about to die at this moment, or the rest of the people, they all know that as long as they do not leave Qin Mingyuan, life and death will inevitably be in the hands of Qi Heng.
And Qin Ming Yuan has a special location, even if they leave Qin Ming Yuan, it is difficult to survive in Qin Mountain.
Therefore, in the days of Qin Mingyuan, no matter how everyone lives on weekdays, they all look extremely respectful in front of Qi Heng. It is not simply full of respect for Qi Heng, but also the cherishing of his own life.
But anyone who doesn't want to lose his life will basically not make much of a mistake in front of Qi Heng.
Looking at Qin Mingyuan, only the little white tiger dared to be arrogant in front of Qi Heng and act recklessly. Except for the little white tiger, even Bai Ying, who was favored back then, couldn't be so pampered in front of Qi Heng.
The sharp sword wind, before it touched the deacon's neck, made the deacon deeply feel that his time of death was near. In despair, he waited for the sword wind that would kill him with one blow, and the verdict he would make.
I don't know if Qi Heng deliberately slowed down, or if time was particularly difficult in the face of death, the brief moment when the deacon closed his eyes felt like a century had passed.
Closing his eyes, the deacon reflected on his short life. For some reason, in addition to thinking of the peaceful years of living in Qin Mingyuan, the deacon suddenly crossed the sea of knowledge with scenes of his forgotten past.
He remembered a hideous and mysterious face, revered by him and the other clansmen as the obedient existence of the Evil Emperor, remembered the terrifying scene when he had no way to control his consciousness and obeyed the orders of the Evil Emperor to kill the other five clans, and remembered the days when he and the other clansmen lived aimlessly like walking corpses in Qinshan.
In an instant, the deacon's eyes suddenly opened, and at the moment when the sword wind hit, an extremely strong desire to survive suddenly rose.
